About Annette
Annette Burleigh is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage family concerns, grief, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her approach starts with listening and identifying the strengths a person already has. She emphasizes small, practical steps that build confidence and motivation so clients can move forward.
She sees each client as the expert in their own story and works alongside them rather than directing from afar. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, naming realistic goals, and trying concrete strategies that fit day-to-day life. Annette draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people find clearer choices and reduce distress.
Her broad experience includes work related to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and end-of-life concerns. She also supports people facing fertility questions, financial stress, midlife transition, and the unique pressures of young adulthood. This background gives her familiarity with a range of family and life challenges.
Annette aims to make the first steps easier for worried parents and adults who feel stuck. She encourages small early wins and checks in about what’s working. People who want practical, steady help navigating change often find this approach useful.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies and strengths. One common approach she draws on helps people identify small, achievable goals and build skills step by step to improve confidence and daily functioning. This method is useful for parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles.Another approach centers on coping with loss and major life transitions by naming emotions, creating routines that reduce overwhelm, and testing simple behavioral changes. That work often helps people facing grief, midlife shifts, or caregiving stress to regain a sense of control and forward motion.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss different methods, and decide together what feels like the best fit for your needs and goals. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the work stays practical and relevant.
